I updated factorio to 1.0.1 - the game updated my blueprints as expected. Then I went back to 1.0.0. It renamed the blueprints to blueprint-storage-backup.dat and made the blueprint-storage.dat file zero size.
I attempted to go back to 1.0.1 and rename the backup dat file back, but nothing that I've tried will recover the 95 MB's of blueprints. HELP !
Any suggestions on how to get them back, the dat file does not load in either 1.0.0 or 1.0.1.

1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 Blueprint update problem
Re: 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 Blueprint update problem
I used this tool
https://github.com/asheiduk/factorio-blueprint-decoder
to extract from the dat file, then re-encode it into an importable string. All worked great.
It would be awesome if when you rename the dat file you named it something like blueprint-storage-1.0.0.dat so we know which version it is and can be used with. it's odd that I couldn't load it in either version of factorio though.
My file went from 95 MB to 67 MB's, but the important stuff is there.

Re: 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 Blueprint update problem
Do you still have the blueprint dat file? 1.0.0 is very old at this point. The latest stable version is 1.1.100. 1.0.0 was released over 3 years ago.
